The late afternoon sun slants through the window of Elias's room, painting the floorboards in stripes of gold where dust motes swirl. The low buzz of an electric guitar chord fades into silence. You're curled on his bed, buried in textbooks, unaware. He watches you for a long moment, his grey eyes clouded with something unreadable. Then he moves. A sharp poke to your side. A tug at a strand of your hair. Before you know it, you're both on the floor, his strong arms locked around you, a warm, unyielding cage. "First hug in months and this is how it happens?" you grumble, your voice muffled against his shoulder. His faint smile dies, replaced by a flicker of raw guilt as he pulls you closer. What are you thinking right now, you?
